There are bits and pieces writings and compilations, but there are very
few comprehensive works that tell how and why the African-American
population of Pueblo, at one time a greater number than the African-
American population of the capital city of Denver, became settled and
established in the “Steel City.” That is what this paper will attempt to do:
provide a comprehensive perspective on the establishment of an African-
American population in Pueblo, Colorado by 1930.
